Subject: NFS service not responding
Date: Fri, 14 May 1999 23:41:30 GMT
Just upgraded from RH5.2 to RH6.0. When trying to mount an exported
directory on Linux with a SunOS 5.6 machine I now get "NFS service not
responding".
ping works
host <hostname> works
host <ip_addr> works
telnet works
SAMBA now works with NT (Didn't have time to get it working on 5.2
before upgrading)
The answer is probably right in front of me and I don't know it. I only
have one month of intense Linux/UNIX experience, but I HAVE to get some
work done.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Date: Fri, 14 May 1999 19:51:11 -0400
Hello,
I recently installed redhat 5.2 on an older Pentium Pro at work. The install
went flawlessly, I selected DHCP as the networking protocol, and when I
rebooted, the machine logged me in as root on the PDC.
Questions: I want to use this machine as a temporary webserver on a
300-node NT network- how do I get Apache to work? A lot of the HowTo's
explain how to use a Linux machine as the sole server, but we have fully
functioning network and simply want to add a web-server. Can someone point
me to info on how to do this or give me some general tips?
Thanks!

This is specific to @home, which I use, but it might be helpful. I've
got a 3c509b as well, and the hardest part was configuring it. You may
have to turn off PnP from w/in dos using the 3com config utility. Mine
is configured as a module, and you can see how to bring it up. Here are
my conf.modules and a custom script (cablenet, which is symlinked from
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d).

First off, don't post to so many newsgroups at once (things like
comp.os.linux.m68k just don't work for this problem).
Second, you would probably want RedHat Linux 6.0, as it uses kernel
2.2.x which has much better SMP support than the 2.0.x kernels (used by
RedHat Linux 5.2 and earlier).

Well, be sure everything is up-to-date. It's really hard to find out how you
got hacked without a detailed scan of log files (and even then you sometimes
don't get jack). Contact CERT (http://www.cert.org/) and check to see if it's a
new security hole. Also, grab your logs and other info and send it to the FBI.
Don't let a cracker go unpunished.

The 'can't locate' error message doesn't seem likely to be the cause of
the problem, but here's a few places to check:
/etc/conf.modules
/etc/modules.conf (only one of these two should exist)
/etc/rc.d/rc.modules
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/net
Looking through my own filesystem, I see no such module anywhere...
Could it be that this module is a deprecated 2.0.x module? Is this a
standard alias for 'bsd_comp.o' ?
At any rate, PPP will work without the extra compression modules. What
sort of problems are you having?

If your modem were not a Windows-only modem, you would not be able to (or
need to) use isapnptools since it is PCI, not ISA. You would have to use
setserial, though.
But your Viking modem is indeed a software modem, and consequently it will
not work without the "modem emulation" software for Windows. :(

Subject: Connecting Redhat 6 to Wingate on NT machine
Well, I'm new to Redhat as my OS because I'm slowly converting over to
linux as my base OS (with good reason :) but I have an NT machine that
uses WinGate to share the net access...
Now, When I was running Win98, everything was fine when I installed the
WinGate client on my 98 machine, it made the PC think it had a direct
connection - not over the modem.
Now I'm running redhat, I have had to manually set up proxies for every
protocol I use (web, news, mail, quake etc etc) I can only get these to
map to one server (esp the quake ones).
Is there any way to get Redhat to do the same as 98 did with the Wingate
client?
I'm not quite ready to convert the NT machine to linux yet - but it may
happen in the future...

Are there more recent docs than the howtos on the LDP?
Best we can tell, these are almost totally concerned with
recompiling old code versions to be compatible, but assume
that once that's done the user will intuitively grasp the
USE of the S/W. Those of us with more recent versions don't
need to rebuild, but *do* need a few clues on applying the
methods.

Although I looked very carefully to see that the box didn't say "Windows
only"
on it, I was duped anyway. Called Viking Components and they said it was
"Windows only", a "plug and play". Also "We're looking into supporting
Linux in the future."
I've seen posts that suggest you might still be able to use one of
these things if you disable PnP and use isapnptools. But my modem is an
internal PCI modem, it's not sitting in an ISA slot. Can I still use isapnp
to
configure the modem properly?
And if not, another solution? Can't get modem to make even a peep under
Linux. I've "setserial" with different combinations, then tried minicom,
literally
hundreds of times, with no luck.
And if no alternative, *please recommend* an actual specific brand and model
of modem to buy, that works under Linux (including the compression
features),
Currently using RH5.2 kernel 2.0.36.....does 2.2.x solve any
serial-device-related
problems?
As I discovered, one can't count on the box to warn of "Windows only"
functionality. That's why I'd like a specific recommendation before I buy
another modem.
Thanks for your help,
Ed

I would probably just do it by hand, one at a time, until I got it right,
rather than trying to set it all up at once.
There are a few things that are confusing to me on your old system.
I noticed you have a netmask of 240 and 192 on 194.xxx.55. . Did you intend
to subnet a subnet?
Also a 252 netmask that uses a common ethernet connection (eth1) seems odd.
A 252 mask is usually
used as a subnet between two routers. It almost seems this system is
connected to a cisco router via eth1. If that is the case, you probably
don't need the special routes (to eth1) on this machine, let the cisco take
care of it. You'll need the internal eth0 routes to your local subnets, but
since they all are connected via eth0, this could be simpler than you have.
Are you running routed or gated on your old system? That might explain a
few things.
A 'picture' of your net connections might help as well.

Subject: Linux and Win9x trouble
Date: Fri, 14 May 1999 22:52:40 -0500
Howdy all:
I am a Linux newbie. I have just installed Redhat Linux 5.1 on an i486
PC and it is running fine. Now I want to connect this machine with my
Win9x machines over an existing Ethernet network using Samba. The Linux
machine (named "linux") shows up in the Win98 (but not Win95) machine's
"Neighborhood Network". I can successfully ping the Linux machine from
each Win9x machine, and vice versa.
PROBLEM 1:
When I attempt to browse the linux machine from Window's Explorer I get
the following message:
You must supply a password to make this connection:
Resource: \\LINUX\IPC$
Password:
Well, I've tried everything, but cannot find the right password to get
past this prompt. I have created an account for the Win98 machine on the
linux machine and assigned it a password with the PASSWD command. I have
disabled password encryption on the Win98 box.
I have learned that IPC stands for "interprocess communications", but
have not been able to figure out why I am getting this message or how to
set the password.
PROBLEM 2:
When I attempt to browse the Win98 machine (named "lan") using the
SMBCLIENT command I get the following message:
# smbclient \\lan\drive_c
\landrive_c: not enough '\' characters in service
Ditto for attempting to connect with the Win95 machine. Interestingly,
when I invoke
#SMBCLIENTS -L lan
the list includes IPC$ among the resources on lan. Why is that, and does
it relate to problem #1 above?
Any assistance with either of these problems would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks.
